Flaminiasupersport Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hello members, does anyone knows how to modify the "cold white" headlights into a more period correct "warm/yellowish white" headlights? I could use a dab of paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubicle23 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Im not doing this model but I do work with LEDs a lot. The cold white lights could be replaced with a warmer one. All of the LED's I have encountered on my build have been a standard size and voltage. Even without seeing them, I would expect them to be 3mm diameter , 3-3.2 volts at 20mA. This should be an easy like for like swap. I was one of the fortunate ones who was only into the EM Ecto-1 build for one pack when they went belly up. I had been working on the lights in the grill and added some additional LEDs and ran them with an Arduino to make the strobe effect, the same method I am going to use on the 917 I'm doing now. All of the LEDs in this Ecto grill are this 3mm, 3v, 20mA style. 20220108_073102.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franknstang Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The strobes are great. Too bad for losing the Ecto build and its maker. It is always sad to see a company go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
